yup...

Cheryl at her FUNKIEST!

I swear,there was something magical about the summer of '81.I can't believe how many great R&B jams we had during that period

shake it up tonight....ooh ooh
show you how to party right (yeah)
shake it up tonight...ooh ooh
show you how to party right

Ray Parker Jr. produced this jam and you can hear his funky guitar all over it.

Ray did a LOT of stuff back then, talk about being prolific!

here's the actual video for "Shake It Up Tonight" If this doesn't take you back to 1981,nothing will...

I love this song. I put this song on repeat after I downloaded it off of iTunes a couple of years ago. This is a great song to party with!

One of her best.

Definately. I got to see her perform this tune as an opening
act for the commodores and maze back in 1981. It was lionel's
last stint with the commodores.
Vain where the hell were you two weeks ago when i posted the
barkays live with the UWF allstars performing move your boogie body.
I put it up just for you.

My boss was probably here and I couldn't get to the org. I wouldn't have been able to see the clip though because of all these blocks on the computers and I don't have internet at home. I saw The Barkays live in 1999 though right before they were planning and promoting that tour. I have the UWF Allstars live album also which is great. I bought the album of new material also and every song on the album by every artist was absolutely horrible....a hot shitty shit hop mess. I threw it in the trash afterwards.

Yeah for the most part the new material was bad but the songs sound a
hell of a lot better when they perform them live like confunkshun's shake it
easy and the barkays the way you shake.

I love this track! I definitely got to buy something with this song. Hopefully it will be back on Sirius' the Strobe playlist when the come back soon!

I actually like this song alot more than the overplayed "Got To Be Real".

Yeah i like this one better too as well as encore and the slow jam
that jesse johnson produced for her. I can't think of the name right now.

SoulAlive said:

You can say that again. I love that song too but they play that song as if that's the ONLY song she put out.

Thanks for posting this. I never, never, ever get tired of hearing "Got To Be Real".
